Ryan Hunter-Reay to Milka Duno after Watkins Glen qualifying, July 2010

Al Unser Jr.
It's just great, pure racing.
Sebastien Bourdais on IndyCar, June 2015
It's amazing how different an Indycar is from anything else on a racetrack.
Alexander Rossi, Autosport.com, April 26th 2017
They're creating a much bigger problem than the one they're trying to solve. And it's mind-boggling, absolutely mind-boggling, that they don't see it and that these discussions have even made it this far.
James Hinchcliffe on INDYCAR mandating domed skids, Motorsport.com, April 5th 2016

I told him I'd follow him anywhere he went, as long as it was on the racetrack.
Sam Hornish Jr on Tomas Scheckter, Texas 2005

It felt way better than I ever thought it was going to feel!

Tomas Scheckter on Helio Castroneves, Detroit 2007
Whoever has got the big balls is going to go fast!
Helio Castroneves
It was a very good test in terms of outright speed, but I did destroy a car the first day.

The Indy 500 was the defining stage of my career.

It's going to be a close finish. I have the bigger nose, I guess I have a good chance.
Tony Kanaan, Kansas 2005
I'm a moving chicane out here!
Juan Pablo Montoya, lap 42 at St Pete's, March 30th 2014
The worst thing about crashing A.J.'s car twice in two days is you still have to go to dinner with him. And he makes you buy, and then he eats your bowl of ice cream, too.
Billy Boat
James Hinchcliffe on bumping at Indy, May 19th 2018
My mom hasn't played much of a role in my racing career. In fact, I think she still wants me to join the Coast Guard. But I still love her.
PJ Chesson on Mothers Day
...if everyone agrees on a spec kit, IndyCar needs to really use the chance to get something that looks good, doesn't have all this winglet crap stuck all over it, and doesn't create all this dirty air.

I've got the Grandfathers Club with Helio and Juan, right?!

With photos, sometimes people get old. Not me, but some people do.

This is a great decision by IndyCar. Plus it gives me another month to get ready.
Jimmie Johnson on the 2021 season opener being delayed, via Twitter, January 6th 2021
There's fathers out there. There's husbands. There's brothers, sisters. It's something that absolutely we think about. We hope for the best with it.
